Con man "Soapy" Smith

Re: Con man "Soapy" Smith

My father now deceased, mentioned how his father and uncle were selling newspapers on a corner in Juneau,Alaska in the 1890's. They were chased away by Soapy Smith. Also he was chased out of a mining town on the Kenai Peninsula,(Hope) about 25 miles Southeast of the present city of Anchorage just before he showed up on Skagway.
